Chapter 356: Comic Park

It will take some time before a comic magazine can be established; after all, it is not as simple as just saying that you can start one up right away. This is unrealistic and unscientific.

Unless you already have several comic works in hand, it is not likely to work.

The comic magazine was named 'Comic Park', and the meaning of the name is also very simple. It is hoped that when people read the comics, they can feel happy and joyful, just like when they visit the park.

As a new comic magazine, 'Comic Park' naturally cannot attract some old comic creators.

Therefore, it can only rely on itself.

Fortunately, Chinese-language animation has recruited a lot of animation (animation and comics) talents, so let's start with drawing comics.

As for animation production, we will have to wait.

To make animation, it is not enough to have just an animator; you also need a scriptwriter.

Without a scriptwriter, how can you come up with a plot!

And you expect the animator to think of the plot?

That's obviously unreasonable, right?

So Huawen Animation also specifically recruited scriptwriters.

The scriptwriters were not just recruited from those who specialised in this, but also from students in the Chinese department.

Now that you have the people, you naturally need the tools to draw.

Han Songlin was quite domineering, and directly bought back 30 sets of digital tablets (drawing tablets) from the United States as tools for creating comics, and kept buying more.

Compared to creating on paper, creating on a computer is naturally much more convenient, and the production cycle can also be greatly shortened.

This is the power of technology.

In the mid-1990s, Hua Wen Animation was definitely considered the most technologically-minded animation company in the country.

Han Songlin was in a meeting at Hua Wen Animation at this time.

Yes, it was a meeting.

This meeting was different from the others, as it was more of a seminar.

Of course, most of the time, it was Han Songlin who was talking.

Han Songlin talked about a lot of creative ideas for the future, and encouraged everyone to think outside the box when creating.

And the first work of Hua Wen Animation was also officially confirmed.

It would be Digimon. Digimon was originally an anime produced by the Japanese company Shueisha. The manga was released in 1997, and the TV series in 1999.

Now, unfortunately, it had to become a Chinese anime.

Han Songlin had not finished watching Digimon, but he remembered that the Tennyo Beast had the best looks.

So Han Songlin gave everyone some settings, such as advancement, where their strength keeps getting stronger, and then they become more powerful and more beautiful.

Of course, the most important point is that Han Songlin also had everyone put the Fuxing advertisements in.

In terms of background settings, these advanced beasts are research products from the Fuxing Industrial Laboratory.

Anyway, it doesn't matter why Fuxing Industrial, a company that makes mechanical products, is doing biological research.

Anyway, that's the background setting.

In addition, in the animation, there will also be appearances of the Fukumando supermarket, Fuxing Motors, etc.

It's advertising, so it can't be too deliberate, just appear in the background.

Overall, it's the story of a few children who go together to save the world.

By the way, there's one more thing to mention, the protagonist in the animation is called Fukurou.

A young boy.

Digimon will be released as a comic book and an animation. The comic book will be released first and serialised in Comic Park; as for the animation, it is estimated that it will not be released until the second half of 1996.

In addition to Digimon, Mandarin Animation will also produce animations based on traditional literature.

For example, Journey to the West.

Journey to the West is definitely a super IP that has always had a huge influence within the Chinese cultural sphere.

So doing a version of Journey to the West is a pretty safe decision.

At the very least, it's hard to say that it will lose money.

As long as it is produced, then there will definitely be many TV stations that will buy it, and it can even be exported overseas.

Han Songlin has also seen several other creative ideas for comics, and has formed a team to work on them together, to test the market first.

The target audience for 'Comic Park' is mainly teenagers and even young adults in their twenties. As for middle-aged and elderly people and children, they are not part of the target audience.

Therefore, it must cater to the market.

Teenage comics are definitely a major part of the current market, and this type of work is also being collected.

Huawen Animation mainly works in small teams on comic creation. Of course, if the work is popular, the reward will naturally go to the team. As for how the internal distribution is carried out, Huawen Animation will supervise it but will not be overly involved.

The entire internal management model of Huawen Animation is as creative-centric as possible.

The animation industry itself is centred on creativity, and it is necessary to allow the creative staff to focus on their work without being disturbed by other matters.

Naturally, this will lead to good work.

Chinese Animation, first of all, helps solve the accommodation and food problems of the creative staff.

With the backing of the Xinghai Group, accommodation and other matters are really easily resolved.

Xinghai Real Estate has purchased a large number of commercial properties in the capital, and the courtyards purchased in the capital have also been placed under the name of Xinghai Real Estate.

The accommodation, food and wages were also very good, and if the project was completed, one could also receive a commission on the profits. There was no reason to say that one could not create with peace of mind!

After handling the affairs of Hua Wen Animation, it was already the end of December. Zheng Lin had already left Beijing long ago to go south to handle the affairs of the real estate company.

The takeover of Yang Guang Real Estate had gone very smoothly; Yang Guang Real Estate had also instantly gone from being a local real estate company to becoming a national real estate company.

This development speed was a bit too fast.

Han Songlin didn't have to worry too much about Sunny Real Estate. The real estate industry is a capital-intensive industry, so as long as there are no problems with capital, there won't be any major problems.

As for the quality of construction, as long as you hire a regular construction company, preferably a state-owned construction company, and then hire a reputable supervision company, the quality of construction can be guaranteed.

Those with problems with construction quality often have two reasons: inadequate supervision, and someone within the company causing problems.

Han Songlin paid great attention to quality.

Yangguang Real Estate has also set up a dedicated reporting hotline. Anyone who discovers the use of substandard materials or violations of construction processes can report it and receive a reward once the facts have been established.

And the reward starts at 100,000 yuan.

What 100,000 yuan means in China at this time hardly needs to be said.

When Han Songlin arrived in Chengdu, it was a drizzly morning.

The overcast sky was blowing a slight cold wind, and the cold rain felt desolate as it fell on his body.

Well, let's not talk about bleak or not bleak for now.

Han Songlin did not ask anyone to pick him up when he returned this time; he refused the taxis and unlicensed vehicles outside the airport, as well as the tricycles.

Han Songlin went directly to the airport passenger terminal on foot.

There is a direct bus from Jiangzhong to the airport, and the whole journey is on the highway.
